Interesting Meal Ideas

Did a search for this with almost no results. Figured this could be a good place for people to post their meal ideas and others to try some of those. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.

The majority of my cooking time is over the fire, and I'm always interested in what others are cooking/eating.

One of our standards that others seem to have not had before is fire roasted margherita pepperoni. Sliced thick and rotated over the fire on a marshmellow stick, these are always a fan favorite.

Last week I made a jambalaya in the dutch oven. Polish sausage, peppers and onions sautéed first, then mix in cooked rice and boss sauce. Mix well and serve.

So lets see some of what others out there are making.

Those both sound amazing!! We marinated chicken chunks, veggies (those mini red, yellow and orange peppers, mushrooms, onion) and pineapple in Very Very Teriyaki sauce with a little green onion thrown in last weekend and then cooked it on skewers over the camp fire (directly on the grate) - they were awesome! -- A trailer camping newbie who will be following this thread!

I like the general idea of this. As popular as this subject sometimes becomes there should probably be a subdivision for the cooking only. And remember, if you don't have a picture then it probably didn't happen.

The drawback is cooking over an open fire. We haven't been to a place that allows open fires in years!! You can have the little propane fire pits or gas grills, but NO wood fires. To be honest haven't missed gathering/buying firewood or having my clothes & rv smelling of smoke.
So bring on some gas grilling ideas also.
One of our favorites is fresh corn on the cob, trim the stalk end & most of the hair ends, soak in water for 2-3 hours, place on a hot grill turning till husk has nearly burnt off, peel off what husk is left (caution ears will be very hot) & add butter & salt to taste, don't get no better than that.

"And remember, if you don't have a picture then it probably didn't happen. " - LOL! Duly noted!



And Danny & Linda, my goodness, agree about grilled corn on the cob. YUM!

You know, I bought some roasted corn a while back outside of Ruidoso, NM on the Mescalero Indian reservation; they used some mixture of seasonings that was just super. I bought a bottle from them and have it here somewhere with all my "cooking stuff". I'll see if I can't find that and post back. It really elevates the taste of the roasted corn.

Not a late riser, but, like my breakfast over the stove. Omelets, bacon, sausage. Lunch and dinner another matter. On the grill, I like to slather my corn in olive oil, salt and pepper, and turn when some of the kernels turn brown/black, zucchini sliced in half with olive/avacado oil, salt and pepper . Slow roasted baby backs are my specialty ,but, burgers, dogs and boneless chicken thighs work any time. We do lasagna, stroganoff, meat balls and such ahead and freeze in food saver vacuum bags and microwave or boil.

Ptooti, THAT'S what I'm talking about! See how much better the presentation is? Your pictures make a person want to actually try your recipe on their own and see what they get! (You had me with the pineapple)

Foil bags are great. We have done a few different versions for those. Breakfast style with ground sausage, bacon, veggies, eggs. Dinner style with shrimp or beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, etc.

Another meal we make that is mostly done ahead of time and makes for almost no cleanup in the morning is breakfast burritos. Cook eggs, bacon, sausage, peppers, onions, or whatever else you like ahead of time, place cooked food on tortilla, sprinkle cheese on, and then wrap in foil. Heat them on the grill for about 10 minutes or until cheese is mostly melted and they are done. Easy to open, if like me, you like to add some sort of hot sauce or whatever.

This is all good information. Did you folks know that if you go to the 'Commiinity' tab, there is a "Kamp Kithchen" social group? Haven't been many posts there, unfortunately. Maybe this thread will spark some renewed interest. I'm not sure, but I think 'SAAB Doctor' started/helped start this group. Check it out

I like to do mine in the microwave. Put it in the way it comes (husk & all) , cook for 4 min, cut the bottom 2-3" off and squeeze the top..out it comes!

Pie irons

We have discovered pie irons and have really been enjoying experimenting with different meals. They're great because each person can customize their own serving. They can cook what they want, when they want. You can use them over a grill too if you can't build a fire. They have different names depending on what part of the country you're from. I think some call them pudgie pies too.



We've done several dishes. Some worked and some didn't. Experimenting is half the fun.



Get the cast iron versions. The aluminum ones just warp, or worse, melt! Besides, everything tastes better when it's cooked in cast iron!

I agree, and have been using these for years. I like to call them "fire sammiches".

We've done several variations of the tin foil "hobo dinners" is what they have been dubbed. They are great for breakfast. We typically chop up onions, peppers, mushrooms etc prior to leaving as this stuff is easier to store in ziplocks and used for multiple meals. We often do a pork or beef roast in the crockpot the day before we leave then bring the shredded meat. Easy to do sandwiches and tacos with. I always prefer the good ol fashioned farm raised steak with potatoes and a veggie on the grill though!
